Every year we do a pumpkin investigation. This is a great

resource from mrsleeskinderkids.blogspot.com.

Every year I read Stellaluna. This year we decorated bats and I took my kiddos pictures and they glued their faces on the bat. Then we hung them upside down all around our classroom!

Sight Word Worksheets Part 2!

Finally! I haven't had much free time lately, but I did manage to finish a new packet of sight word activity sheets! Check them out and let me know what you think!

Thank You Mr. Columbus and Apple Picking!

 I am enjoying my day off  thanks to Mr. Columbus. Thought I would take some time to post pics of my Little Monsters apple picking. Now that they are moving around like crazy, it's actually a little easier to take them places. Yesterday we went to the NY Aquarium and they LOVED running around-as for the fish and other marine life,they weren't all that into it! hahaha

Our Little Monkey, Grace, Climbing Away!

We could have just spent the day in the pumpkin patch-they
didn't want to leave. My monsters threw their first
public tantrum! We just laughed while everyone else
stared! hahaha too funny!!
